Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Vegetable Skillet

Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Vegetable Skillet is the BEST 20 minute meal packed with awesome cajun flavor with shrimp, sausage, and summer veggies. This makes a great low carb meal and is also great for meal prep!

Summertime and getting into a swimsuit reminds me that I have got baby weight to lose. Now that our sweet girl is six weeks old, I can focus on myself now. Working out and eating better to lose the extra pounds. I was a lot more careful with this last pregnancy gaining weight, so I don’t have a ton to lose. But I can’t wait to start feeling better about myself and fitting in my pre-pregnancy jeans again.

I love creating easy meals that are healthy and full of flavor. Since I don’t have a lot of time with a newborn, I love when I can create a meal that is ready in no time at all. This one just happens to be ready in about 20 minutes! This is a great family meal, but I actually used it for meal prep. It is delicious served over some brown rice, or quinoa and the cajun flavor is my favorite.

Shrimp and sausage go so well together! You can use pork or chicken sausage in this and I love how delicious it makes this meal. Cajun seasoning is one of my all time favorites and packs in delicious spices and a little bit of heat. It is perfect for adding flavor to this quick and easy meal.

I included my favorite summer veggies. Zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, and red bell pepper. It makes it a complete meal in one. This is the perfect flavorful meal and helps you stay on track. It is such a delicious and easy low carb option and I don’t get sick of eating it throughout the week!

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

14 ounce pork or chicken sausage, sliced

2 medium sized zucchini, sliced

2 medium sized yellow squash, sliced

½ bunch asparagus, sliced into thirds

2 red bell pepper, chopped into chunks

Salt and Pepper

2 Tablespoons olive oil

2 Tablespoons Cajun Seasoning

Instructions

In a large bowl add the shrimp, sausage, zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, bell pepper and salt and pepper. Add olive oil and cajun seasoning and toss until coated.

Add to a large skillet and turn to medium high. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the shrimp is pink and the vegetables are tender.

I made this dish for my husband and he liked it so I decided to make it for my parents on Father’s day. I wish the recipe came with the nutritional facts because my father is diabedic and my mother is on Keto.

I made the Cajun shrimp and sausage vegetables for my fire crew. I had to triple the reicipe but my crew loved it and I thought it was good. Easy to make and the cost was reasonable. Will definitely make it again

I made this for my wife a few days ago and it was BOMB! AWESOMENESS on a plate! I subbed fresh green beans for the asparagus and served over brown rice. We ate for DAYS off this recipe! Thanks for another great recipe!

Alyssa, can this be frozen before and/or after it is cooked? I cut the recipe in half and it’s still too much. I was thinking I could cook half now and freeze the other half for later. Or should I cook it all then freeze half for later? Thanks

This recipe was quite tasty, but as I was cooking it, I kept wishing I was using a wok. Unless your skillet is GIGANTIC, “Large skillet” doesn’t quite cover how large it needs to be.

As it was, I didn’t include the asparagus and red pepper, as I couldn’t find them at my grocery store and didn’t have time to go somewhere else. I can’t imagine adding any more ingredients to my largest skillet.

Look so delicious! I’ve never cooked with cajun seasoning, so when I go to purchase it, is called exactly that just Cajun Seasoning? Or there several seasonings I need to buy to make a cajun seasoning?

I never comment on recipes, but I just made this and it was SO good. Super simple. Super quick. Super flavorful. Super healthy. Had it with some nice crusty bread to soak up the juices. Perfect. This is definitely going on the weeknight dinner rotation.
